Illusions

What is life?
But a spectrum of illusions,
Altered images twisting to fantasy,
Genuine and fake fusions,
Fabrications of reality,
Money being a product of thought,
Time didn't exist before it was measured,
Religion a tradition that's taught,
Inventions of illusions assured,
Thoughts passed through generations,
Ruling our human nature,
Throughout the world and its nations,
Trapped inside a recurring blur,
A system without equality,
Where the poor continue to suffer,
A struggle for liberty,
Trying to be tougher,
Embracing the warrior within,
Attempting to rid confusion,
For life to truly begin,
But, what is life but an illusion?

Bio

I have been writing since childhood, taking a break during my early teen years, and continuing from the age of nineteen. I have had work published into The Wakefield Express, Take a Breaks Fate and Fortune and I have worked as a writer for the Wakefield Literature Festival's - Word Walk. I've also had my poems published into anthologies by United Press and Forward Poetry. I mainly write fiction and poetry, although I do enjoy writing articles and reviews.
I began by writing horror stories, and then decided to try other genres such as: historical romance, comedy, sci-fi and young adult fantasy.
I have five self-published books so far titled: Arabella, Thirteen: The Horror Collection, Silver City, Poems For All Occasions and Mina Harker: The Curse of the Vampire.
